You are a cheeky one aren't you. If you didnt stop finding was to improve my car you wouldn't have to keep upgrading it.
But I must say you know what your doing and i enjoy watching you work.
But I do enjoying coming to see you as trip home is always better.

sweet will double check that.

spent a fair bit of money today.

Bought this. I thought it would only weigh 50kg.. it actually weighs 103kg..


and went to MX5 plus to buy a bonnet and also NB8C rear big brakes (have the front ones already). gonna be using these until i do the 5 stud conversion. i've a spare set of front hubs. just need to buy a set of rear hubs

since ive got the bonnet, fenders, and nose cut. im gonna organize to get my car repaired from next week.. which means im working on my car agin!1 YAY .

This may be a dumb question but what do you use "that" for?

[chewyryce]

its a scissor lift trolley.

used to lift 300kg things from very low up to 1.3m high. good for raising cross members with either a diff or say.... a front cross member with engine and box and brakes and shocks still attached (such as mine) without any/much effort.

also acts as a normal trolley where you put your tools or beer on while you work on your car

if anyone wants to use it just ask. i'll lend it out for free... its heavy though so 2-3 will be needed to lift this thing

[Rhys]

OIC! sounds handy

[chewyryce]

yeah. its expensive so if anyone is thinking of getting one, dont bother if you are only going to use it once.. instead borrow mine

[chewyryce]

so i checked out the 5 stud wheel hub assembly for the BA. and matched it up to these cars that use the same hub. part number #RWH4021

i dont see any NB MX5's so i matched that part number with other cars such as the NA (obviously), Festiva and the 121. i might call up a bearing place tomorrow and get some measurements from the SP20 rears and NA8 fronts.

anyone wanting to do a 5 stud conversion on their Astina.. well the interchangeable parts are listed in this post. FYI rear hub assembly

As for the front. the part number is #WBK1180. and is used in these vehicles... didnt want to paste details as above because its 3 times the amount of cars listed so i just grouped them all.

KE-KQ Laser - ALL
BG-BJ - ALL
NA - ALL
CP10P1 - ALL (Premacy)
CP10S2 - ALL (Premacy)

NOTE: because they use the same bearing, the front hub will differ depending on specific model. Refer to rear wheel hub assembly for a list of 5 stud vehicles

As of now I'm earning more per hour than ever before.

And no, I'm not taking part in a strip club for those curious minds out there...

[Clean_Cookie]

Whatcha starting/restarting drifty?

And good luck jess! I'm testing all week. Quite boring...

[Drift Thorpey]

Heading back out on site to do Gyrocking with another guy I worked with previously.
I'm a qualified Bricklayer but due to health limitations I got relegated to office work.

Whatcha testing homie?

EDIT: I photochopped that BA for ya buddy, lemme know if it's what you wanted or if you were after soemthing different

[smurfy]

Thanks guyss ... still waiting after 7hours and theres still an operation infront of me :/ blahhhhh

[Drift Thorpey]

Damn dude, thats sucky!

Do you mind if I ask what the operation is for?

Last time I went into theatre I had probes through my veins to put electric pulses through my heart to make me pass out... Worst thing I've ever felt to this day.

Hope yours is much nicer and contains anesthetic!
